Synopsis
Popular and beloved author J. Ellsworth Kalas presents new insight into some of the best known passages from the Bible--the parables of Jesus. Kalas approaches the parables through the "back side": through a unique starting point, a creative retelling, a new "lens," or the eyes of a minor character. Kalas's creative approach both clarifies basic teachings and introduces new possibilities of meaning, even for those who are most familiar with the parables. Enriched with contemporary illustrations and personal experiences, this volume will provide new perspectives on these stories from Jesus.
